Baffling Images That Had People Searching For Answers Online

PrincessofPlastic:

I honestly think it has to do with the fact that this person loved their cat so much they not only got her Christmas gifts, but they used film to document her, got the picture developed, and added it to what I'm assuming is a scrapbook. Penny was so loved!

anon:

The world this photo depicts hasn't existed for some time. Also that cat is long [gone].

[Nonsense] made by a man. My baby mama (and I dare say most women) had to get rid of her rings. Not to mention the choking and latching hazards presented. If you’re nursing with rings, you’re being irresponsible!

This is just a well shaken egg. You can actually see a thin rim of white part which is pure white. Rest is mixture of albumin and yolk ( appearing off-white). It happens when yolk sac membrane ruptures with egg intact. As it boils, the mixture hardens

Real talk, this could mean you have a downstream rupture in your sewer line and it crawled in and up the pipe.

Good_Isopod_2357:

Ooh! I know this one! Artificial purple coloring is actually a reaction to acidity! So as the water freezes, the concentration is thrown off, and the acidity rises because the coloring and flavoring are the last parts to freeze, so it reacts and turns green. As it melts, it will turn purple again.

Also adding on: if you ingest enough of it, it'll turn your waste green as well, so just be aware of that.

Afrojones66:

Your eyes make tiny involuntary movements called microsaccades, even when you try to stare directly at something. When you look at certain patterns or textures, these eye movements interact with the pattern and create the illusion of motion. The cat isn’t shaking—your eye movements are producing the illusion that it’s jiggling.

Tired of boiling water every time you make pasta? Boil a few gallons at the beginning of the week and freeze it for later.

_luna_Iover_:

I tried this, for some reason the water wasn't hot when I took it out of the freezer. Waiting for further instructions.

SerpentBride:
You have to reheat it obviously. But it saves you time because it’s already boiled.

My mom always buys the same KISS acrylic nail set from Walgreens, they’re all locked-up so you have to get an employees attention to come and unlock the glass sets in order to buy them, and today my mom got multiple unexplainable mistakes in her set. We aren’t mad, we just find this deeply confusing. First off, behind the shown and accurate pair is a handful of clear nails (usually from what I’ve seen in an actual nail salon), also including two cut up pieces of post-it note paper and four pennies. Thanks for the tip atleast due to the rest of the set being screwed up, but is there any explanation for this? Is it Walgreens or KISS?

Accomplished-One7476:

Someone took what they needed and added the pennies to make up the weight missing...... returned the item and it was put back in stock???

What's the point of buying 4 chargrills for £5.25, when you can get 6 for £4.50? I don't understand??

yappmaster:

It's the oldest trick in the book, they give you a bad deal on the 4 pack to make you feel like you beat the system buying 6, when otherwise you wouldnt have bought any. They have infinite margins anyway, it doesnt matter what % they get, they just want to move more volume and this is the best strategy, you're proving them right.

Reverse image search says it's a candle or incense burner but it's very heavy (about 1kg) - any other ideas on what it could be?

i keep finding these small, rock-hard orangeish to yellowish things in almost everything my mom makes. at first i thought it was just overcooked/burnt beans, as thats what i first noticed them in, but then they began showing up in other non-bean meals. they've only started appearing within the past one to two months, so i can assume it's something from a new seasoning she's using. they don't have much of a taste, but they are sort of bitter. the edges are hard, sort of like they were burnt. they're softer in the middle, and i can slightly bend them if i hold them with tweezers and then use two fingers to pull the edges up or down. i'd like to know if anyone has some idea what this could be so i could tell my mom to at least use that seasoning or spice less, if not to stop using it all together. let me know if i should find a different subreddit to post this in, too.

Since everybody joking, my genuine guess is that it was harvested too late and was near the seeding stage, which causes it dry out very fast once it's disconnected from the vine.

Bro this gotta be fake unless she's never seen Shrek. Or is trolling.

blessings-of-rathma:

How much of this looks real to you? It's a picture of a 3D printed Shrek, a different picture of a praying woman, and a caption that says something about both of them.

Main-Situation-4380:

She’s literally a model they snagged this photo from her Instagram to advertise a product she doesn’t even know about.

How’s that possible?? Any devs here that could have an idea?

SM1334:

They must have modified the video in a way that its just the same image but for 1.2 million hours. So the file size is probably like <1mb.

Monkeynutz_Johnson:

It's something between a Gothic style and an edwardian style vaguely reminiscent of Edward Gorey. It's a nice piece, didn't notice if you named the artist but it's a great original piece. Well, is it the original or a print?

HumbleGhandi:

Is this something that heats or cools? I think its saying if you switch it off overnight, it'll run full cycle to make up for the lost cooling/heating overnight.

Ugh. As a regulatory labeling person, this is the worst technically compliant date format they could choose. One of the most important focuses of the work is patient safety, which is best served by plain language and straightforward formatting. Whoever did this has terrible professional judgement.
I do think it's either Julian date formatting or their Quality team doesn't do good work either and a digit is missing. Booooo.

Given that it’s a three pound chunk of chocolate, and a regular sized bar, 1.5 oz. , sells for about a dollar, ON SALE, that’s approximately 32 bars worth of chocolate. You’re ahead of the game, BUY IT.

Looks like it's an intrusive ad for people who ignore digital ads.
If it doesn't have a regular fortune on the flip side I would be upset at this. I definitely don't want advertising in my fortune cookies!

I’ve been getting these weird text messages for months, always addressed to denise or chip. It’s always under different phone numbers, I have gotten at least 10 this past month. These screen shots are just some I’ve saved. At some point I was getting them a few times a day..

brycifer666:

Weird scam or just a wrong number. I've gotten a voicemail of two old guys arguing and trying to call a woman to settle their dispute. I still wonder if they figured it out...

California puts that label on everything, because it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

I suspect there used to be another sign there…

Looks like end piece/outer ring of the casing and some part of the inner meat hanging on at the end. Maybe they had a dirty slicer and didn’t clean it before cutting this up.

Looks like an old early 2010s finger beams toy, spiderman themed.

It’s ink. Like a signature for the printing machines so that the quality control people can identify which machine printed the can.

Is this crab safe to eat? We have left the restaurant now, but I am trying to see if I was overreacting by telling the restaurant manager that the crab was bad. This was blue crab, I have read that the claw meat can be darker, but I'm not familiar enough to speak from experience. Does this look rancid or just typical blue crab?
I thought the crab smelled like ammonia, but the manager didnt want to admit that it smelled. She said it smelled 'fishy' but was normal. I am pregnant, so I started second guessing my nose and thinking that I was just being over sensitive.


Particular-Jury-3251:

I wouldn’t eat it, anytime you smell ammonia in seafood throw it out.

So, what's the first sign say?
I'd bet money it says something like, "if you are coughing, sneezing, running a fever/showing signs of flu/COVID" and the second one says "please don't wait in our waiting room". It's to keep well-visits separated from the sick-visits at clinics/doctors so they don't get the not-already-sick people sick.
